The NYT Mini crossword might be a lot smaller than a normal crossword, but it isn't easy. If you're stuck with today's crossword, we've got answers for you here.

The New York Times Mini Crossword loves related clues, just like the big crossword puzzle does. Example: a recent Mini Crossword had two clues that were both "Apple product." But one related to apples that you eat (CIDER) and the other to computer products (MAC). When you see a repeated clue, open up your mind to all the meanings.
